Solid Player... Good in coverage... +100 tackles and 4 sacks last season...

like the move !

I love the New England Patriots, but i am not a fanatic. I want the team to win games the right way, playing good football. I demand the best from the players and the organization, because i support them the best way i can.ISAAC ANDREU

Love this move, just adds insurance in case one of the top 3 LB's gets hurt or in case Collins isn't totally ready for the starting role just yet. Very good signing for depth and this guy could make a play or two for us and this would be a total success

The team is better today than it was yesterday. LB depth was a priority and it has been addressed. Still some guys returning from injury that are questions, but lots of training camp competition this year at all positions on the defense. Much more quality depth on that side of the ball than in recent years. If you look at the depth chart on yahoo.com, these DL aren't even mentioned: Chris Jones, Joe Vellano, Sealer Siliga, Armond Armstead, Michael Buchanan, Marcus Fortson. They show Bequette as the backup to Nink, I don't see that, I doubt he makes the team. The staring corners from last year are now the backups to Revis and Browner. Safety should be deeper and more stable as well. The team was top 10 in points allowed and top 5 in sacks last year. With Wilfork, Kelly and Mayo back from injury, the D should be better than it has been in years.

I'm about to beat my forehead into the keyboard for asking this, but Rusty, how do you know that the Pats offered less money than other teams? Just because other teams have more cap space doesn't mean that they offered more money to him (or any money, for what it's worth).

Said it when Rkarp mentioned him as a possible pickup. Good depth signing in a area that we critically need depth. There was no 4th option and he seems to fit a decent #4 LB role with some good coverage ability. But, we have to realize the only reason he's still available is because no one else wanted him. So, when I see that I do hold my breath a bit on how much the guy has left in the tank. But, for what I'm sure in min value contract I like the move.
